Physics

Last week I was attempting to study for a physics test. You need to know that studying is not my talent, I avoid it like the plague. But since I haven't taken a science class since high school I figured staring at formulas and trying to remember if kg to N is times 10 or divided by 10 (none of which will be important after May).

I started from the begining...
Page 1 mostly notes about the syllabus.
Page 2 again syllabus notes and a note to write a paper about DHMO (its water don't get all that excited).
Page 3 my serious notes begin, formulas for acceleration and something about psuedoscience (I should have paid more attention to that because the man is a wanker and half the test was about psuedoschience) followed by more formulas and doodles for the next 2 or 3 pages.
Page 5 (or 6) "This man is an atheist."
Page 7 "Didn't he wear that sweater last class?"
Page 8 "He wears that sweater every day" formulas for net force and "why does he hate God so?"

I write about six pages of notes a week for my physics class. Each week four of those six pages are dedicated to commenting on my professors attempts at humor, his attire and his hatred of all things not related to science.

I try to be colorful to make up for his crustiness but each of my attempts have fallen short, that paper I had to write about DHMO was filled with silly quips and notes about my observations about the modern marriage (the website brought it up) but I didn't get full credit because my paper was supposed to say "Yes. Water." I wasn't so explicit. I think that there is plenty of fun to be had when writing a paper for phyics class. I think that there is plenty of fun to be had in physics class (its filled with athletes I love when they ask questions) I was taking hints at bad humor from the man who started his lecutres at "Chapter 0."

What I have learned in physics is (and its important, these lessons are not just for me)

1. Fun is only for professors.
2. Gravity is ok when its rounded.
3. The moon is made of green cheese.
4. God doesn't exist, physics does.
5. You can't believe in both.
6. You're stupid if you think in lbs and not kg even if you are American.
7. You're stupid if you use a calculator.
8. You can wear your pants lopsided, higher on the right than the left (there has yet to be an explanation in terms of physics as to how this happens)
9. I should have left science in high school.
